I don't have my band yet - I am in the 3 month supervised diet now. Can I join? I certainly have weight to lose.

I'd love to join too! I was banded in '07 but went a year with an unfill, and am just getting back on track the past few months. Would love to have something to motivate me to stay on track! Looking forward to the new us'es!

I just joined as well! I'm not sure where I'll be by Thanksgiving (hopefully at least close to my Thanksgiving Challenge goal weight) but I'll adjust my goal based on where I am at by Thanksgiving. I REALLY hope I can meet my Thanksgiving goal but this will be a great way to continue the motivation! Totally excited!

I'm in! THis may just be the motivation I need. I'm a old bandster that's fallen off the wagon. Well, not only did I fall off, it's run me over!

I've joined the spreadsheet. Looking forward to any help I can get.

I just got another fill today. I'm hoping this will be my sweet spot. I'm also hoping it will help me get to my goal of 199.9 for thanksgiving (13.5 pounds to go). That way I will be solid for my NYNY goal. If not, I will just tack it on. I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY would like to start the New Year UNDER 200 pounds (for the first time in God knows how long).

I'm definitely in! I hope to meet my Turkey Day goal, and I want to set another realistic goal yet one that will still challenge me. Hmmm....I'm thinking 215 (presently 233) sounds pretty good. That is ten pounds between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day. I know there will be temptations, but I can do it!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
